The Least Squares Kinetic Upwind Method (LSKUM) [1]} belongs to the family of kinetic theory based upwind schemes for the numerical solution of Euler or Navier-Stokes equations that govern the compressible fluid flows. These schemes are based on the moment method strategy [2]}, where an upwind scheme is first developed at the Boltzmann level. After taking appropriate moments, we arrive at an upwind scheme for the governing conservation laws. LSKUM requires a distribution of points, which can be structured or unstructured. The point distributions can be obtained from simple or chimera point generation algorithms, quadtree, or even advancing front methods [3]}.
